By night the city is humming with lively bars, clubs and restaurants. You can party into the early hours.
Sophisticated
Norwich can hold its own with the best of them. Expensive shops for exclusive parties; restaurants to rival London’s finest; opera, ballet and drama; smart galleries; ‘Origins’ our state-of-the-art visitor attraction; and ‘The Forum’ the finest regional public library in the country housed in a contemporary architectural centrepiece.
Historic
Norwich is the most complete medieval city in Britain with fascinating museums, a magnificent cathedral, a Norman castle, ancient pubs, cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, a jumble of medieval lanes and a delightful old Watergate down by the riverside. Take a boat from Norwich railway station along the river to pretty Elm Hill, our most famous medieval street with galleries and the lovely little Bear Shop. Admire our attractive buildings such as Dragon Hall, the Guildhall and 17th century Pulls Ferry with its 15th century arch over the former canal where the ferries used to run. Or wander through historic streets such as Pottergate and Timber Hill with their old buildings and unusual shops.

Norwich could once boast a pub for every day of the year and a church for every week. Now there are still over 30 medieval churches within the old city walls alone and, as for pubs, well, let’s just say you won’t go thirsty!
